During the period of sanction, the Division may grant a license, with or without a sanction, to an applicant or impose a sanction less than revocation, including no sanction, on a current license based on consideration of the nature of the offense, the date of the conviction, the nature of the resolution of the prosecution (e.g. conviction, plea of nolo contendere, or first offender treatment), the date of release from custody or supervision (e.g. confinement, or probation), the age of the offender when the crime was committed, or any other special circumstance. Further, the Division may deny a license or otherwise refuse to reinstate a license after the period of sanction has expired if the offender is guilty of multiple offenses, if he has shown a disregard for the law, if he has not been released from confinement for at least twelve (12) months or if there is any other reason for which the Division, in its discretion, is of the opinion that the offender is not fit or qualified to engage in the used car dealer business.
